Our 5th Grade Grads had a BLAST (pun intended!) at their start-studded end of the year party last night!! They ate, they danced, they had ice cream, took photos, got fabulous swag bags and watched a movie under the stars. Our new astronaut mascot also made its first public appearance and was a huge hit! We are so glad we were able to send off this class in style!

Thank you to all the parents and teachers that participated and volunteered to make this event a success! Special shoutouts to Chin-Chin Cafe for donating to our swag bags, the Zone for the food, Ashburn Orthodontics for the T-shirts, and Loudoun Station for sponsoring and hosting this event! Happy Summer to the 5th Grade Class of 2021! 🥳

A Farewell Message, from your Co-Presidents
As we set sail for middle school, and the end of our time at Discovery ES, we would like to thank our Discovery community. Without all of our Trailblazing students, families, and TEACHERS, we would not have been able to achieve all that we have done, over the past two years. We are so fortunate to live within a school district that holds such a wonderfully diverse and caring population.

THANK YOU for allowing us to serve as your PTO Co-Presidents. It has been a pleasure and an honor to be able to work so closely with the wonderful staff at Discovery...they really are the BEST! You will all be in GREAT hands as we hand the baton to your new PTO board. Keep blazing that trail!!

❤️ Erin Sullivan & Kristin Stephens
